One, there should be a priority or separate counter for collection of tickets that are already purchased online. We had to join long queues in GZ just to collect tickets for the ride back to HK. Many in the queues were purchasing tickets there and a lot of time was lost for them to decide the time, train and making payment. Also, when it was almost our turn at the counter, we were told to join another queue because the counter staff was going for her lunch. We ended up queuing again. Surely, there is a more efficient manner to issue tickets to those who had already paid their tickets online.
Two, there was a passenger in the same cabin blasting his mobile phone loudly without a earpiece. This is disturbing the ride of other fellow passengers. I had to inform the attendant to advise this passenger to either use a earphone or turn down the volume. Signage can be hung in stations and training to remind passengers of proper behavior in trains.
Third, there is no safeguard against passengers wrongly or deliberately taking luggage that do not belong to them. In the trip back to HK, our luggage was behind us, and when the train stopped in SZ, we realized someone moved our luggage. We had to move it back and watch over our luggage to make sure they are not taken, and only went back to our seats after the train starts its journey again from SZ.

We collected our tickets at Guangzhou South Station (our departure station); the ginormous size of the station is quite intimidating. Fortunately, a local people who speaks English helped us to reach the correct line for collecting the tickets. Otherwise, finding the right line might have been stressful....More
